Goals

Drive more qualified leads to its call center.

Improve the lead to sales conversion rate.

Approach

Implemented message extensions across all its search campaigns.

Added a “Click Here to Text Us” call-to-action in extension text to
maximize send rates and make it clear that users would be engaging with
the company via text message.

Requested contact information in initial text messages to make sure
customers were committed to getting more information before routing
them to a call center representative.

“We are very happy with the performance of click-to-message ads. It’s
performing above other channels as a lead generation tool, with over 30% of
texts we receive turning into a qualified lead for our call centers to pursue.
We’re excited to see this grow further as messaging becomes a go-to way for
consumers to reach out to businesses.”
